Signs of giving birth can be different for all livebearers, some drop without any signs and others will have signs that are very noticeable.
A livebearer will square off before giving birth, which means the body will look more square instead of round. Noticeable signs can be, heavy breathing, mine usually hang by the heater, sitting near the bottom of the tank, loss of appetite, hiding, isolating themselves, sometimes when I have a female that is close to dropping my other females will hang around close to her. Each livebearer can be different with signs IMO the best way to tell is when she its squared off.

When my females give birth they hang out at the filter for 2 days then drop. Like the person before me said they tend to square and their gravid spot becomes really dark
